“Combined Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to the Combined Subsidiaries the ratio of Combined EBITDA during the four full fiscal quarters (the “Four Quarter Period”) ending on or prior to the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Combined Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (the “Transaction Date”) to Combined Fixed Charges for the Four Quarter Period. In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, for purposes of this definition, “Combined EBITDA” and “Combined Fixed Charges” shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to

If any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (and are not a Finance Subsidiary or Accounts Receivable Entity that is a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) directly

-7-

or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the preceding sentence shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if the Restricted Subsidiary had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness. Furthermore, in calculating “Combined Fixed Charges” for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this “Combined Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”

(1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date;

(2) if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four Quarter Period; and

(3) notwithstanding clause (1) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum in effect on the Transaction Date resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements on such date.

“Combined Fixed Charges” means, with respect to the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (and are not a Finance Subsidiary or an Accounts Receivable Entity that is a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) for any period, the sum, without duplication, of

“Combined Interest Expense” means, with respect to the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (and are not a Finance Subsidiary or Accounts Receivable Entity that is a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) for any period, the sum of, without duplication,

(1) the aggregate of the interest expense of the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (and are not a Finance Subsidiary or Accounts Receivable Entity

-8-

that is a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) for such period determined on a combined basis in accordance with GAAP, including without limitation,

(A) any amortization of debt discount,

(B) the net costs under Interest Swap Obligations,

(D) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligation;

(2) the interest component of Capitalized Lease Obligations accrued by the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (and are not a Finance Subsidiary or Accounts Receivable Entity that is a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) during such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; and

(3) net losses relating to sales of accounts receivable pursuant to Permitted Receivables Financings during such period as determined on a combined basis in accordance with GAAP;

(2) extraordinary or non-recurring gains or losses (determined on an after-tax basis);

(3) any non-cash compensation expense incurred for grants and issuances of stock appreciation or similar rights, stock options, restricted shares or other rights to officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including any such grant or issuance to a 401(k) or other retirement benefit plan);

-9-

(4) the net income of any Person, other than a Restricted Subsidiary, except to the extent of cash dividends or distributions paid to the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (and are not Finance Subsidiaries or Accounts Receivable Entities that are Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries) by such Person;

(5) any restoration to income of any contingency reserve, except to the extent that provision for such reserve was made out of Combined Net Income accrued at any time following March 31, 2003;

(6) income or loss attributable to discontinued operations (including, without limitation, operations disposed of during such period whether or not such operations were classified as discontinued) from and after the date that such operation is classified as discontinued;

(7) write-downs resulting from the impairment of intangible assets;

(8) the amount of amortization or write-off deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period and any premium or penalty paid in connection with redeeming or retiring Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the stated maturity thereof pursuant to the agreements governing such Indebtedness; and

(9) any restructuring charges incurred pursuant to any Genesis Project or any related project disclosed as such in the Company’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, together with any related provision for taxes, in an aggregate amount since March 16, 2007 not to exceed $80.0 million.

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s written request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection

If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon written notice from the Company a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the Company and the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge such Holder for their respective reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

If on a Redemption Date or the Final Maturity Date the Paying Agent holds U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal and

-39-

interest due on the Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09. Treasury Securities.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities.

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Securities are to be authenticated. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation, and the Trustee shall destroy any cancelled Securities. Subject to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company or any Guarantor shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Paragraph 5 or Paragraph 6 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall

-46-

give notice of redemption to the Trustee at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing), together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained herein.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.

If fewer than all of the Securities are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that if the Securities are redeemed pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Securities, the Securities shall be redeemed solely on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of the Depository) unless the securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed requires a different method. If the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the requirements of such exchange in respect of any redemption. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. At the Company’s written request delivered at least 15 days prior to the proposed date of such mailing (unless a shorter notice shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. Each notice for redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any) and shall state

(1) the Redemption Date;

(2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid;

(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

-47-

(4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any;

(5) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed;

(6) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued;

(7) if fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption; and

(8) the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the Securities are to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price (which shall include accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date), but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment.

-48-

SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Security that is to be redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security or Securities equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

In the event that the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will nevertheless provide such Exchange Act information to the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods required by law.

(b) If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(c) In addition, the Company has agreed that, for so long as any Securities remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture, the Company will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations under clause (a) of this Section 4.10 for purposes of Section 6.01(3) until 90 days after the date any report hereunder is due.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.10 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

-56-

SECTION 4.11. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of and/or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Asset Sales.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition; and

(3) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days after receipt thereof either (A) to prepay any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such asset to the extent of the Net Cash Proceeds of such asset and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility (or effect a permanent reduction in availability under such revolving credit facility, regardless of the fact that no prepayment is required), (B) to acquire Replacement Assets, or (C) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (3)(A) and (3)(B).

Pending the final application of the Net Cash Proceeds, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (3)(A), (3)(B) and (3)(C) of

-57-

the preceding paragraph (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (3)(A), (3)(B) and (3)(C) of the preceding paragraph (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that principal amount of Securities equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase; provided, however, that if the Company elects (or is required by the terms of Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Securities), such Net Proceeds Offer may be made ratably to purchase the Securities and such pari passu Indebtedness.

If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration) or Cash Equivalents, then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.12.

The Company may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $50.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales or deemed Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $50.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this paragraph). The first such date the aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or in excess of $50.0 million shall be treated for this purpose as the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date.

In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.12, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.12 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the Fair Market Value of such properties and assets of the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.12.

Notice of each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed or caused to be mailed, by first class mail, by the Company within 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date to all record Holders as shown on the register of Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Securities pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and shall state the following terms:

-58-

(1) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.12 and that the Holders may elect to tender their Securities in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash; provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount of Securities properly tendered in a Net Proceeds Offer exceeds the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, Securities of tendering Holders will be purchased on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered);

(2) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest, if any) and the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date (which shall be at least 20 Business Days from the date of mailing of notice of such Net Proceeds Offer, or such longer period as required by law);

(3) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder To Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the Business Day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased; and

(7) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.

On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer which are to be purchased in accordance with item (1) above, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.14 U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities to be purchased and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any. For purposes of this Section 4.12, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

-59-

To the extent that the aggregate amount of the notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use such excess Net Proceeds Offer Amount for general corporate purposes or for any other purposes not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero.

The Company will comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the foregoing “Asset Sale” provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Indenture by virtue thereof.

The Trustee shall make such adjustments as are needed so that no unauthorized denominations are purchased in part when the aggregate principal amount of Securities properly tendered in a Net Proceeds Offer pursuant to this Section 4.12 exceeds the Net Proceeds Offer Amount and Securities of tendering Holders are purchased on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). Each Notice of Net Proceeds Offer required pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall state that such adjustments may be made under such circumstances. Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock (it being understood that the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

(b) make loans or advances or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) applicable law;

-60-

(2) this Indenture;

(3) the Credit Agreement and/or the documentation for the Credit Agreement;

(4) the Senior Secured Notes and/or the documentation for the Senior Secured Notes;

(5) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease governing a leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary;

(6) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(7) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date;

(8) any other agreement entered into after the Issue Date which contains encumbrances and restrictions which are not materially more restrictive with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements as in effect on the Issue Date;

(9) any instrument governing Indebtedness of a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary;

(10) customary restrictions on the transfer of any property or assets arising under a security agreement governing a Lien permitted under this Indenture;

(11) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03 and Section 4.15 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(12) any agreement governing Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance the Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (2), (4), (6), (7) or (9) above; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clause (2), (4), (6), (7) or (9);

(13) any agreement governing the sale or disposition of any Restricted Subsidiary which restricts dividends and distributions pending such sale or disposition;

-61-

(14) any agreement, instrument or Lien placing encumbrances or restrictions applicable only to a Finance Subsidiary or an Accounts Receivable Entity; or

(15) any agreement governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03; provided that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness, taken as a whole, are not materially more restrictive than the provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or in the Indenture as in effect on the Issue Date.

SECTION 4.14. Limitation on Issuances of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Company will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Finance Subsidiary or an Accounts Receivable Entity) to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Finance Subsidiary or an Accounts Receivable Entity).

SECTION 4.15. Limitation on Liens.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Securities or a Subsidiary Guarantee, the Securities or such Subsidiary Guarantee is secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and

(2) in all other cases, the Securities are equally and ratably secured,

except for:

(A) Liens existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date;

(B) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (2) or (11) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” and all other Obligations relating thereto;

-62-

(E) Liens securing Refinancing Indebtedness which is incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness) which has been secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture and which has been incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Liens:

(I) are no less favorable to Holders of the Securities and are not more favorable to the lienholders with respect to such Liens than the Liens in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced; and

(II) do not extend to or cover any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced; and

(F) Permitted Liens.

SECTION 4.16. [Intentionally Omitted]

SECTION 4.17. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), other than:

(x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under paragraph (b) below; and

(y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are not materially less favorable than those that would have reasonably been expected in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involving aggregate payments or other property with a Fair Market Value in excess of $10.0 million shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) on or after the Issue Date that involves an aggregate Fair Market

-63-

Value of more than $50.0 million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

(b) The restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) above shall not apply to

(1) employment, consulting and compensation arrangements and agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consistent with past practice or approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors (or a committee comprised of disinterested directors);

(2) reasonable fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(3) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; and

(4) Restricted Payments, Permitted Investments or Permitted Liens permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 4.18. Issuance of Subsidiary Guarantees.

If, on or after the Issue Date, the Company forms or acquires any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (other than (w) an Acquired Subsidiary for so long as it is not a Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, (x) a Finance Subsidiary, (y) an Accounts Receivable Entity or (z) an Immaterial Domestic Subsidiary) that incurs any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary), or if, on or after the Issue Date, any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor guarantees (a “Guarantee”) any Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) (“Guaranteed Indebtedness”), then the Company shall cause such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, to:

(1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, shall unconditionally guarantee (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantee”) all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture; and

-64-

(2) execute and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may contain customary exceptions) that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be.

Thereafter, such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiary that was not a Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture. The Company may cause any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to issue a Subsidiary Guarantee and become a Guarantor.

If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is pari passu with the Securities, then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be pari passu with the Subsidiary Guarantee. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated to the Securities, then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Subsidiary Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated to the Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Subsidiary Guarantee of the Securities provided by a Guarantor will be released without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities:

(1) if the guarantee of the Credit Agreement and of the Senior Secured Notes made by such Guarantor is released, unless such Guarantor has any Indebtedness outstanding or remains a guarantor of Indebtedness of the Company or another Guarantor;

(2) if (a) all of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Guarantor is sold or otherwise disposed of (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person other than the Company or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) such Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, and the Company otherwise complies, to the extent applicable, with Section 4.12;

(3) if the Company designates such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.20; and

(4) upon the Company’s request if the Fair Market Value of the assets of the applicable Guarantor (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), together with the Fair Market Value of the assets of other Guarantors whose Subsidiary Guarantee was released in the same calendar year in reliance on this paragraph (4), does not exceed $1.0 million (subject to cumulative carryover for amounts not used in any prior calendar year).

-65-

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will execute and deliver any instrument evidencing such release. A Guarantor may also be released from its obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with amendments permitted in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine of this Indenture. The Trustee shall only be obligated to deliver any such instrument upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate stating that such release is in compliance with this Indenture.

SECTION 4.19. Payments for Consent.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of any Securities for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders who so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment.

SECTION 4.20. Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Company may, on or after the Issue Date, designate any Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Subsidiary of the Company which owns Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary or is a Guarantor) as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;

(2) the Company would be permitted under this Indenture to make an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the sum of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary owned by the Company and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries on such date and (B) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of such Subsidiary owed to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on such date; and

(3) the Company would be permitted to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to Section 4.03 at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation).

In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment in the Designation Amount pursuant to Section 4.04 for all purposes of this Indenture.

-66-

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:

(x) provide direct or indirect credit support for or a guarantee of any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

(y) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(z) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary), except, in the case of clause (x) or (y), to the extent permitted under Section 4.04 hereof.

The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (“Revocation”), whereupon such Subsidiary shall then constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, if

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time and after giving effect to such Revocation;

(2) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this Indenture; and

(3) such Subsidiary shall for purposes of Section 4.18 be treated as having then been acquired by the Company.

All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 4.21. Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and any liquidated damages if any, thereon to the date of purchase.

-67-

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurs, the Company must send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things,

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.21 and that all Securities tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled “Option of Holder To Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Securities purchased;

(7) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; and

(8) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control.

On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent, in accordance with Section 2.14, U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Securities so tendered and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. Upon receipt by

-68-

the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (ii) above and a copy of the Officers’ Certificate specified in clause (iii) above, the Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed by the Company to the Holder thereof. For purposes of this Section 4.21, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Any amounts remaining after the purchase of all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be returned by the Trustee to the Company.

The Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.21, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.21 by virtue thereof.

Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will not be obligated to repurchase the Securities under this covenant if it has exercised its right to redeem the Securities under the terms of Paragrah 5 of the Securities.

ARTICLE VI

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” occurs if

(1) the failure to pay interest on any Security when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(2) the failure to pay the principal on any Securities when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Securities tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer);

(3) a default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture which default continues for a period of 30 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities (except in the case of a default with respect to Article Five, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

(4) a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness after any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”), or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity (and such acceleration is not rescinded, or such Indebtedness is not repaid, within 30 days) and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, exceeds $75.0 million or more at any time;

(5) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (A) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (B) commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to itself, (C) consents to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, (D) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for substantially all of its property, (E) consents to or acquiesces in the institution

-72-

of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it, (F) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (G) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing;

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment, decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, which shall (A) approve as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (B) appoint a Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or for substantially all of any of their property or (C) order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; and such judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(7) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $75.0 million not covered by adequate insurance (other than self-insurance) shall have been rendered against the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and nonappealable; or

(8) any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect, or any Subsidiary Guarantee of such a Significant Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Subsidiary Guarantee of such a Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary denies its liability under its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than by reason of release of such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture).

The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, give to the Securityholders notice of such Default; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Securityholders.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) above) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Securities may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Events of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) above occurs and is continuing,

-73-

then all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences;

(i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, if interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances and any other sums owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07; and

(v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clauses (5) and (6) of the description above of Events of Default, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities, this Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

-74-

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Prior to taking any action or following any direction pursuant to this Section 6.05, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification from such Holders satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any fees, loss, liability, cost or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee unless

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

-75-

(5) during such 30-day period the Holder or Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request.

A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Securityholder.

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and take such other actions as it may determine in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or advisable (including participating as a member of any creditors committee acting in the matter) in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, legal fees, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents, nominees, custodians, counsel, accountants and experts) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, legal fees, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents, nominees, custodians and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained

-76-

shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: without duplication, to the Trustee for amounts owing under Section 7.07;

Second: if the Holders are forced to proceed against the Company, a Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities directly without the Trustee, to Holders for their collection costs;

Third: subject to Article Twelve, to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, premium and interest, respectively; and

Fourth: to the Company or any Guarantors, as their respective interests may appear or to such party as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

SECTION 6.11. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on a special Record Date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted

-77-

Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Company has caused the Securities to be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 6.12. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section

-78-

6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

-81-

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or any document issued in connection with the sale of Securities (including without limitation any preliminary or final offering memorandum) or any statement in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. The Trustee makes no representations with respect to the effectiveness or adequacy of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be responsible for independently ascertaining or maintaining such validity, if any, and shall be fully protected in relying upon certificates and opinions delivered to it in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Default.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice of such event, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder, as their names and addresses appear on the Securityholder list described in Section 2.05, notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee receives such notice (or 30 days in the case of a Default or Event of Default specified in the following sentence). Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or interest on, any Security, including the failure to make payment on (i) the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or (ii) the Excess Proceeds Offer Payment Date pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Securityholders.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

This Section 7.06 shall not be operative as a part of this Indenture until this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and, until such qualification, this Indenture shall be construed as if this Section 7.06 were not contained herein.

Within 60 days after each May 15 of each year beginning with 2008, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §§ 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d).

-82-

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.

The Company shall notify a Responsible Officer of the Trustee if the Securities become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, legal fees, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, accountants, experts, nominees, custodians and counsel and any taxes or other expenses incurred by a trust created pursuant to Section 8.01.

(b) The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee, its directors, officers and employees and each predecessor Trustee for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee, without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable expenses and attorneys’ fees of defending itself against any claim of liability arising hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. However, the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense (and may employ its own counsel) at the Company’s expense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee as a result of the violation of this Indenture by the Trustee if such violation arose from the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.

(c) To secure the payment obligations of the Company and Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to any Lien held by the Securityholders on all money and property held or collected by the Trustee as such for so long as the Trustee holds such money and property, except funds and property held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture for so long as the Trustee holds such money and property.

-83-

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 occurs, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive termination of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article Eight and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee becomes legally incapable of acting with respect to its duties hereunder.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture; provided, however, that no Trustee under this Indenture shall be liable for any act or omission of any successor Trustee. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Company), the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee and the Company shall pay to any such replaced or removed Trustee all amounts owed under Section 7.07 upon such replacement or removal.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of TIA §§ 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

(a) The Company may, at its option and at any time, with respect to the Securities, elect to have either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below applied to the outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth in paragraph (d).

(b) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Company shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of the Sections and matters under this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned, except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of the Holders of outstanding Securities to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the Company’s obligations to issue temporary Securities, register the transfer or exchange of any Securities, replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and maintain an office or agency for payments in respect of the Securities, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (iv) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Indenture.

For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Company and any Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any

-86-

such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01(3), nor shall any event referred to in Section 6.01(4) or (7) thereafter constitute a Default or an Event of Default thereunder but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

(2) Such deposits shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in and for purposes of the TIA;

(3) The Trustee shall have received Officers’ Certificates stating that no Default or Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Section 6.01(5) or (6) is concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

(4) The Trustee shall have received Officers’ Certificates stating that such deposit will not result in a Default under this Indenture or a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

-87-

(5) (i) In the event the Company elects paragraph (b) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income taxes on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred, or (ii) in the event the Company elects paragraph (c) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming that, Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

(6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that as a result of the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, neither the Trustee nor the trust have become or are deemed to have become an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(9) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 8.01 have been complied with; provided, however, that no deposit under clause (1) above shall be effective to terminate

-88-

the obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture prior to 90 days following any such deposit; and

(10) The Company shall have paid all amounts owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by paragraph (5) above need not be delivered if all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable on the maturity date for the securities within one year, or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

In the event all or any portion of the Securities are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Company must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 8.02. Satisfaction and Discharge.

In addition to the Company’s rights under Section 8.01, the Company may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture (subject to Section 8.03) when

(1) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company or thereafter repaid to the Company from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(2) all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have been replaced or paid) have (i) become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and

-89-

(3) the Company and/or the Guarantors have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and

(4) there exists no Default or Event of Default under this Indenture; and

(5) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; and

(6) the Company shall have paid all amounts owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07.

SECTION 8.03. Survival of Certain Obligations.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the Securities referred to in Section 8.01 or 8.02, the respective obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.10, 2.12, 2.13, 4.01, 4.02 and 6.07, Article Seven and Sections 8.05, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 7.07, 8.05, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive. Nothing contained in this Article Eight shall abrogate any of the rights, obligations or duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 8.04. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee.

Subject to Section 8.07, after (i) the conditions of Section 8.01 or 8.02 have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in Section 8.03.

SECTION 8.05. Application of Trust Assets.

The Trustee shall hold any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it in the irrevocable trust established pursuant to Section 8.01. The Trustee shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender or the U.S. Government Obligations, together with earnings thereon, through the Paying Agent, in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of the irrevocable trust agreement established pursuant to Section 8.01, to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. The U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations so held in trust and deposited with the Trustee in compliance with Section 8.01 shall

-90-

not be part of the trust estate under this Indenture, but shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of all Holders entitled thereto.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.01 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

SECTION 8.06. Repayment to the Company or Guarantors; Unclaimed Money.

Subject to Sections 7.07 and 8.01 and to applicable laws relating to escheat, the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, or if deposited with the Trustee by any Guarantor, to such Guarantor, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate, any excess money, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, held by it at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, of an Officers’ Certificate, any money held by it for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after payment to the Holders is required; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Paying Agent before being required to make any payment may, but need not, at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication and shall be at least two years after the date such money held by the Trustee for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed), any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, Securityholders entitled to such money must look solely to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 8.07. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then and only then the Company’s and each Guarantor’s, if any, obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had been made pursuant to this Indenture until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities

-91-

because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders.

The Company and any Guarantors (when authorized by Board Resolutions), and the Trustee, together, may amend or supplement this Indenture without notice to or consent of any Securityholder

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to evidence the succession in accordance with Article Five hereof of another Person to the Company or a Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company or a Guarantor herein and in the Securities or a Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be;

(3) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

(4) to make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Securityholders hereunder;

(5) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or

(6) to add or release any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Indenture;

provided that each of the Company and any Guarantors has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that such amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of this Section 9.01; and provided, further, that such amendment or supplement does not, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect. In formulating its opinion on such matters, the Trustee will be entitled to rely on such evidence as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an Opinion of Counsel.

-92-

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders.

Subject to Section 6.07, the Company and any Guarantors (when authorized by Board Resolutions) and the Trustee, together, with the written consent of the Holder or Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Securities and any Subsidiary Guarantees without notice to any other Securityholders. Subject to Section 6.07, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Securityholder (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 4.22). Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, however, no amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may

(1) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Indenture, the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantees;

(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Security;

(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Securities; or change the date on which any Securities may be subject to redemption, or reduce the redemption price therefor;

(4) make any Securities payable in money other than that stated in the Securities;

(5) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities on or after the stated due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

(6) amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligations of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer after the occurrence of a Change of Control or make and consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

(7) modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related definitions affecting the ranking of the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee in a manner which adversely affects the Holders;

-93-

(8) modify the provisions of Section 4.19, 6.04, 6.07 or this Section 9.02 in any manner adverse to a Holder of Securities; or

(9) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with TIA.

From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of his Security by notice to the Trustee or the Company received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

-94-

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (11) of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions) and, in the case of any supplemental indenture required by Section 4.18, constitutes a guarantee as defined therein. Such Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, and the Trustee shall have a lien under Section 7.07 for any such expense.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

Each Guarantor agrees to unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee and

-95-

its successors and assigns, that (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, to the extent lawful, of the Securities and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or of any such other Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and each Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Securityholder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Securityholder, each Subsidiary Guarantee to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of each Subsidiary Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of its Subsidiary Guarantee.

SECTION 10.02. Severability.

In case any provision of a Subsidiary Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

-96-

SECTION 10.03. Release of a Guarantor.

In the event of either (i) the issuance or sale of Capital Stock of a Guarantor in compliance with this Indenture which results in the Guarantor no longer being a Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) a Guarantor becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor pursuant to an Asset Sale which complies with the provisions of Section 4.12, the applicable Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee will be released.

The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 10.03. Any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities as provided in this Article Ten.

SECTION 10.04. Limitation of a Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance hereof, each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each Guarantor irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee, or pursuant to Section 10.05, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 10.05. Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Subsidiary Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Securities or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee. “Adjusted Net Assets” of a Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), but excluding liabilities

-97-

under the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), excluding debt in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

SECTION 10.06. Waiver of Subrogation.

Until all Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Securities against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Securities shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Securities, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Securities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 10.07. Execution of Subsidiary Guarantees.

To evidence its guarantee to the Securityholders set forth in this Article Ten, each Guarantor shall execute a Subsidiary Guarantee in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, which shall be endorsed on each Security ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Article Ten shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee as well as a supplemental indenture as required by Section 4.18. Each such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by two Officers, or an Officer and a secretary, treasurer, controller or an assistant secretary of the Guarantor or one Officer shall sign and one Officer or a secretary, treasurer, controller or an assistant secretary of the Guarantor (each of whom shall, in each case, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall attest to such Subsidiary Guarantee prior to the authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery

of such Subsidiary Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Subsidiary Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Subsidiary Guarantee, and in case any such officer who shall have signed the Subsidiary Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Security on which such Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed the Subsidiary Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.

SECTION 10.08. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive each such Guarantor from performing its Subsidiary Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each such Guarantor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The Company will pay interest semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing May 15, 2008. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 20, 2007. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Securities plus 2% and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Securities are canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders.

4. Indenture.

The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference

to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities are governed by all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.

5. Optional Redemption.

The Securities will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on and after November 15, 2011 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on November 15 of the applicable year set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date):

In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Equity Offering, the Company shall make such redemption not more than 180 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

As used in the preceding paragraph, “Equity Offering” means any public or private sale of the common stock of the Company, other than any public offering with respect to the Company’s common stock registered on Form S-8 or other issuances upon exercise of options by employees of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000.

If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

8. Change of Control Offer.

The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities or portions thereof selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any security being redeemed in part.

11. Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

A-8

12. Unclaimed Funds.

Subject to any applicable escheat laws, if funds for the payment of principal or interest remain unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Company at its request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease.

13. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may be discharged from its obligations under the Indenture and the Securities except for certain provisions thereof, and may be discharged from its obligations to comply with certain covenants contained in the Indenture and the Securities, in each case upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

14. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security.

The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to make restricted payments, to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to issue preferred or other capital stock of subsidiaries, to sell assets, to permit restrictions on dividends and other payments by subsidiaries to the Company, to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets, to engage in transactions with affiliates or to engage in certain businesses. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

unless it has received indemnity satisfactory to it.

17. Trustee Dealings with Company.

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries, any Guarantor and their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

No stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
